Bollywood male superstars and their obsession with newcomers
Bollywood has forever banked on beautiful leading ladies to sprinkle freshness on the screen.B- Town’s top-rated superstars have always realised the power of casting new faces when it comes to drawing audience attention.For the formidable male superstars, age is just a number that never affects their humongous fan following. Loyal fans crazily wait for their favourite hero’s film to hit the theatres and if the heroine opposite him is a new young new face, it acts as cherry on the cake.The blatant age difference between the male and female lead may seem glaring, but it has come to be a foolproof strategy to elevate freshness of the hero’s image.”The big male stars have a strong image and even stronger fan following. A fresh pairing with a new and younger face is a convenient method to bring novelty,” says trade analyst Taran Adarsh, stressing on how loyal fans anxiously wait for their favourite star to romance a young new actress.Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in Om Shanti OmShah Rukh Khan created frenzy when he appeared with the then 20- year- old model Deepika Padukone in Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om. The SRK-Deepika jodi was crackling, happening a good 12 years after the iconic SRK- Kajol pairing happened in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge in 1995. By 2007, when SRK courted Deepika for the first time on screen, Kajol had all but retired.”Most actors trying a new pairing should be careful to justify it through the script. New pairing with young actress can get awkward if not presented appropriately on screen,” says Adarsh.advertisementSRK and Deepika ended up winners again in Rohit Shetty’s Chennai Express last year, with the actor sportingly inserting a few jokes about his advancing age in certain dialogues. SRK fans are curious to know as to who will star opposite him in his upcoming biggie, Fan. Speculations are rife that co- producers Yash Raj Films are keen that SRK agrees to romance Vaani Kapoor, whom they launched in Shudh Desi Romance. Shah Rukh’s other film in the pipeline, Raees, might have a new girl too.Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar have created a record of sorts by co-starring with newcomers. Even as Akshay, 46, raises eyebrows by casting himself opposite 22- year- old newbie Kriti Sanon in the upcoming Singh Is Bling, Salman’s Eid release this year, Kick , will see the 48- year- old superstar romance Jacqueline Fernandez, 20 years his junior.Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez in Kick In Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Salman is paired opposite Sonam Kapoor, 28.Salman’s last few heroines have been Daisy Shah, the 24- year- old debutant of Jai Ho, Katrina Kaif, who was 27 when she did Ek Tha Tiger with him, and Sonakshi Sinha, who was 23 when he introduced her in Dabangg . The superstar’s also worked with Asin in Ready when she was 25, a good 20 years younger than him.Akshay, too, can boast of working with several new girls ever since he became a superstar in the 2000s.Newly- crowned Miss World Priyanka Chopra and Miss Universe Lara Dutta, for instance, worked with him in Andaaz. Akshay in fact has had a pattern of casting a relatively young girl in about three to four consecutive films before moving on to a fresh face.Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra and Sonakshi Sinha are instances. Right now, Kriti apart, Akshay will romance the 24- year- old Tamannaah Bhatia in It’s Entertainment and Shruti Haasan, 28, in Gabbar . The scene is no different for thinking superstar Aamir Khan. The actor does not necessarily insist on fresh pairing in every film – think Talaash , where he was cast opposite Rani Mukerji – but most of his recent films such as Dhoom 3, 3 Idiots and Ghajini have had heroines who are almost two decades his junior.Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif in Dhoom 3In Rajkumar Hirani’s upcoming P. K., the 49- year old superstar has the 26- year- old Anushka Sharma as his heroine.Aamir Khan: Anushka Sharma (P. K) Aamir is said to cast his lead keeping in mind the script and novelty factor. However, like other superstars he too has worked with girls who are at least two decades his junior in his recent releases. The 49- year- old superstar’s pairing with the 29- year- old Katrina Kaif in Dhoom 3 was considered quite unusual. Earlier, his teaming up with Bollywood debutant Asin in 2008’s Ghajini , who was 22 when the film released, created curiosity among fans. He will soon be seen with Anushka Sharma, 26, in Rajkumar Hirani’s P. K. Since the plot is tightly under wraps, it is unclear if Anushka (above) and Aamir share a romantic angle.advertisementShah Rukh Khan: Vaani Kapoor or Sarah Jane Dias (yet to be confirmed), who will romance SRK in Fan? The question has kept fans engaged ever since the film was announced. The strong contender to play the heroine is Vaani Kapoor, who emerged as the budding sensation of last year with her role in Shudh Desi Romance. Ex- beauty queen Sarah Jane Dias is also rumoured to be approached for the role. Industry watchers are equally anxious about Raees, SRK’s other upcoming film, for which no actress has been finalised as yet.Akshay Kumar: Tamannah Bhatia (It’s Entertainment); Shruti Haasan (Gabbar); Kriti Sanon (Singh Is Bling) Akshay is well aware of the fact that a new pairing can help him create a buzz and add to the curiosity level of his new films.Akshay Kumar and Tamannah Bhatia in It’s EntertainmentMaintaining a record of casting maximum new heroines, he recently announced Kriti Sanon as his lead in Singh Is Bling. He started the trend with Andaaz casting newly- crowned Miss World Priyanka Chopra and Miss Universe Lara Dutta.Salman Khan: Jacqueline Fernandez (Kick); Sonam Kapoor (Prem Ratan Dhan Payo) Salman is known to be a benevolent godfather who proudly announces a new girl opposite himself once in a while. Beginning with the teenager Sneha Ullal, who looked totally mismatched in Lucky: No Time For Love, he created a refreshing chemistry with newcomer Sonakshi Singh in the Dabangg films. He tried launching background dancer Daisy Shah in Jai Ho but the idea flopped. His fans are keen to see him opposite Jacqueline Fernandez in the upcoming Kick.Saif Ali Khan: Ileana D’Cruz (Happy Ending); Parineeti Chopra (Untitled home production) Saif Ali Khan, 43, will be seen opposite Ileana D’Cruz, 25, in Nikhil Advani’s romantic comedy, Happy Ending . He has cast 25- year- old Parineeti Chopra in an untitled film produced by his home banner, Illuminati Films. After creating chemistry with Deepika Padukone, in Love Aaj Kal and Cocktail, Saif has worked with several heroines far younger.He has recently seen romancing 24- year- old Tamannaah Bhatia in Humshakals. Last year, his heroine in Bullett Raja was Sonakshi, 27, and he was also seen romancing 28- year old Jacqueline Fernandez in Race 2.
Warriors even NBA Finals, hold off Raptors in Game 2
TORONTO, ONTARIO – JUNE 02: Quinn Cook #4 and Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors celebrate the play against the Toronto Raptors in the second half against the Toronto Raptors during Game Two of the 2019 NBA Finals at Scotiabank Arena on June 02, 2019 in Toronto, Canada. Gregory Shamus/Getty Images/AFPTORONTO — The Golden State Warriors relied on a champion’s heart to overcome their weary bodies.Klay Thompson scored 25 points before leaving with a hamstring injury, Stephen Curry had 23 and the Warriors ran off the first 18 points of the second half on the way to a 109-104 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night that tied the NBA Finals at one game apiece.ADVERTISEMENT With Kevin Durant already out and Thompson eventually joining him in the fourth quarter, the Warriors don’t feel great — but they would’ve felt a whole lot worse flying home in a 2-0 hole.“I think that when you get to this stage, our DNA shows up,” Curry said.FEATURED STORIESSPORTSPrivate companies step in to help SEA Games hostingSPORTSPalace wants Cayetano’s PHISGOC Foundation probed over corruption chargesSPORTSSingapore latest to raise issue on SEA Games food, logisticsAndre Iguodala, himself slow to get up after a hard fall in the first half, made the clinching 3-pointer with 5.9 seconds left after the Raptors scored 10 straight points to cut it to 106-104.Kawhi Leonard had 34 points and 14 rebounds for the Raptors.

They showed no signs of concern during the off days, and Thompson suggested part of the problem during their 118-109 loss Thursday was rust after they had nine days off in between series.Their bigger problem early in Game 2 was the defense of the Raptors. But Toronto — which had a 23-0 advantage in second-chance points — missed a chance to take a comfortable lead into the half and couldn’t overcome its 37 percent shooting, with Pascal Siakam going 5 for 18 for 12 points after scoring 32 in the opener.TIP-INSWarriors: Curry had his streak of 30-point games snapped at six.

Private companies step in to help SEA Games hosting The Warriors will hope to have enough healthy bodies to get through it. Thompson landed awkwardly after a 3-point attempt early in the fourth quarter and limped off soon after, with backup center Kevon Looney already missing the second half with a chest or shoulder injury.And Golden State is still without Durant, who missed his seventh straight game with a strained right calf but hopes to return during the series.For now, they got key contributions from Quinn Cook, who hit three 3-pointers, and veteran center Andrew Bogut, who wasn’t even part of the roster most of the season but came off the bench for three baskets.“It was a great win. We got to go home and protect our home floor and we’ll see about all the injuries,” coach Steve Kerr said. “But I’m very proud of our team and in particular all the guys off the bench.”Kerr said Thompson told him that he thought his injury was minor and he’d be fine, but added that “Klay could be half dead and he would say he would be fine.” Kerr was unsure the nature of Looney’s injury.Fred VanVleet scored 17 points for the Raptors, who had red T-shirts with their slogan “We The North” hanging on seats around the arena.The Warriors sure were seeing red, especially Curry, during a mostly miserable first half when they missed 20 of their first 28 shots.He hung his head and didn’t even attempt to run back when VanVleet stole the ball from him and made a layup to give Toronto an 11-point lead with a little more than 2 minutes remaining in the half.But Curry made two free throws for the final points of the half to cut it to 59-54, then the Warriors came back and pitched a shutout until nearly the midpoint of the third quarter during a series-changing — perhaps season-changing — swing.Iguodala had five quick points including a 3-pointer that moved Golden State into the lead at 61-59. The surge continued with three straight baskets from Thompson and three more from Green, whose last one capped the 18-0 run that Elias said was the longest to start a half in NBA Finals history and made it 72-59 before Toronto finally got on the board with a 3-pointer with VanVleet with 6:20 remaining in the period. Curry appeared to be laboring as well in the first half, returning to the locker room in the midst of six straight misses to start the game.But the Warriors cobbled together a good enough finish to the second quarter to keep it close, then stormed out of the locker room with one of their vintage third-quarter charges that have been so frequent during their run to five straight NBA Finals.“Third quarter we didn’t play well enough. We missed too many shots,” Raptors guard Kyle Lowry said. “They got out in transition and got a little confidence going. We lost the game there.”DeMarcus Cousins was inserted into the starting lineup and delivered 11 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, and Draymond Green had 17 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists — missing by one assist a fourth straight triple-double.The series moves to their Oracle Arena for Games 3 and 4, with the first NBA Finals to be played outside the U.S. assured of returning to Canada for Game 5.ADVERTISEMENT Two-day strike in Bicol fails to cripple transport Sports Related Videospowered by AdSparcRead Next Cayetano: Senate, Drilon to be blamed for SEA Games mess View comments Ethel Booba twits Mocha over 2 toilets in one cubicle at SEA Games venue Don’t miss out on the latest news and information.

‘Man United wanted Wenger for Ferguson’
Manchester United ‘Manchester United wanted Arsene Wenger to replace Sir Alex Ferguson’ Joe Wright Last updated 2 years ago 16:39 9/1/17 FacebookTwitterRedditcopy Comments(2) 
Getty Images Manchester United Arsène Wenger Arsenal Premier League The Frenchman was the club’s “number one choice” to take over at Old Trafford from in 2001, according to the former chairman Manchester United held talks with Arsene Wenger over replacing Alex Ferguson as manager in 2001, former chairman Martin Edwards has revealed.Red Devils 11/2 to beat Stoke 2-0The Arsenal boss was identified as the number one choice to take charge at Old Trafford following Ferguson’s shock announcement to the club that he intended to retire following the 2000-01 season.

Zlatan wasn’t even the best player in LA! ‘I’m getting better’ – Can Man Utd flop Fred save his Old Trafford career? Why Barcelona god Messi will never be worshipped in the same way in Argentina Edwards, who was chairman of the club between 1980 and 2002, says discussions were held at Wenger’s home in an effort to tempt him away from United’s fierce rivals.”I have to say that his decision came as both a surprise and a shock to all of us,” Edwards told GQ magazine when asked about Ferguson’s initial plans to retire.”Once we realised that he was very serious about it and that his mind was made up, there were lots of discussions at board level about a possible replacement.”Our first choice was Arsene Wenger. Since joining Arsenal in 1996, Wenger had been pretty successful, especially in his first full season in charge when he won the double. And while it’s true to say that he has suffered hard times since, at the time we all thought he was the best candidate to replace Alex. Certainly, he was my number one choice.”Wenger did show a little bit of interest, enough to want to meet with both [former United chief executive] Peter Kenyon and me at his home in London to listen to what we had to say. In fact, we had a couple of meetings with him and for a while we thought there was a possibility of him joining us.”But I think Wenger felt a loyalty towards [former Arsenal vice-chairman] David Dein. He was very close to David, and that was the reason he gave us in the end for turning down United. He felt that he had started something with Arsenal and that his attachment to the club was too great, he didn’t want to break that bond.”Ferguson eventually reversed his decision and went on to guide United to a host of further honours, including seven Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2008, before retiring in 2013.In total, he won 28 major trophies at United, including 13 league titles, five FA Cups and two Champions Leagues.
José Mourinho criticises Old Trafford fans for giving Scott McTominay stick
Share on Messenger Manchester United “The fans they can do what they want,” Mourinho said. “I am not upset at all with that reaction [about Rashford]. But I am upset with the reaction they had with Scott McTominay. A kid of 20 years old was making all the right decisions and they wanted him to make the wrong decisions. When he decides to break the intensity of the game, it was a wonderful solution and the fans reacted against the kid. That was the bad one. To react against me, that was not the problem.”Rashford was making his first Premier League start since Boxing Day and Mourinho revealed that he had deliberately targeted the right-hand side of Liverpool’s defence.“My plan was to give [Trent] Alexander-Arnold some problems. Alexander-Arnold is very fast – but I think Marcus is a little bit faster. I wanted to give him something to think about.”Rashford was booked for a mistimed tackle on Dejan Lovren in the first half and Mourinho also seemed unimpressed that Gary Neville, in his television role, had criticised the challenge.“At half-time, someone told me Gary Neville was asking Marcus Rashford to get a red card so I was scared the referee was watching. Where Liverpool brought a lot of players to the central area of the pitch, Marcus Rashford was defending the corridor against Alexander-Arnold and, with the pressure of Gary, I made the decision to play a player [the substitute Marouane Fellaini] who could make a yellow.” Topics Reuse this content Share on WhatsApp Premier League news Marcus Rashford’s double gives Manchester United victory over Liverpool Liverpool Share on Pinterest Share on Facebook The Observer Share on Twitter Read more Share via Email Share on LinkedIn José Mourinho José Mourinho was critical of the Manchester United crowd after watching his team beat Liverpool 2-1 and questioned whether some supporters were being unfair on Scott McTominay by taking exception to a moment in the second half when the inexperienced midfielder played a backward pass rather than choosing to attack.Mourinho’s decision to substitute Marcus Rashford, the scorer of both United goals, was booed by some fans later in the match but the manager said he was more aggrieved by what he perceived to be a negative response to one of McTominay’s passes.
Business Owners Get Helping Hand Online
Starting and operating a business in Halifax Regional Municipality and New Glasgow just got easier thanks to a new online tool designed to help sort through government permits and licences. BizPaL is a free, web-based service that helps guide business owners through the regulation process at the federal, provincial and municipal levels. “Implementing BizPaL is another example of the province’s commitment to enhance our business environment,” said Jamie Muir, Minister of Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations. “BizPaL will enable business operators to deal with the licence and permit requirements of all levels of government through one, online source. It will save them time, and resources.” The service is simple to use and offers information that is easy to understand. HRM and New Glasgow are the first Atlantic Canadian municipalities to implement BizPaL. “People in business, or those wanting to start a business, want information quickly and conveniently,” said Peter Kelly, Mayor of Halifax Regional Municipality. “BizPaL will provide one-stop shopping for entrepreneurs to gather information about government licences and permits they may require to operate their business.” “The Town of New Glasgow is pleased to be selected as one of the first two Atlantic Canadian communities to launch this innovative service,” said New Glasgow Mayor Ann MacLean. “As the commercial service centre for north-eastern Nova Scotia, our strategic goal is to make New Glasgow a community that provides a progressive business climate. BizPaL is another initiative that enables our municipality to make significant strides in this area.” The Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses, which represents 5,200 members in Nova Scotia, is a proponent of BizPaL and pleased to see it being implemented in Atlantic Canada. “Opening and running a business is a tough job,” said Leanne Hachey, Atlantic vice-president of the federation. “But BizPal will make this job a bit easier, saving entrepreneurs valuable time and money.” This project is part of the ongoing government Better Regulation Initiative aimed at making it easier for businesses to do business in Nova Scotia.

German billionaire family admits to links with Nazis
Berlin: More than 70 years after the end of World World II, one of Germany’s richest familiy has admitted to its dark links with Adolf Hitler’s regime. Spokesman of the Reimann family, Peter Harf, told Bild am Sonntag of plans to give 10 million euros (USD 11.3 million) to charity after learning of their elders’ support for the Nazis and their company’s use of forced labour during the war. “Reimann senior and Reimann junior were guilty. The two entrepreneurs have both passed away, they belonged actually in prison,” said Harf. Albert Reimann senior died in 1954 and his son in 1984. The company they left behind, JAB Holding, is today a behemoth that owns household brands ranging from Clearasil to Calgon. With wealth estimated at 33 billion euros, the Reimann family is believed to be Germany’s second richest. Harf said the family began digging into their dark past in the 2000s, and in 2014 decided to commission a historian to produce a thorough study into their ancestors’ ties to Nazism. The family plans to make public a full account when the book by the historian, Paul Erker of Munich University, is finished, said Harf. Quoting letters and archival documents, Bild am Sonntag said Reimann senior was a willing donor to Hitler’s SS as early as 1931. His company was in 1941 deemed a “crucial” firm in the war, as it produced items for the Wehrmacht and the armaments industry. In 1943, the company was using as many as 175 forced labourers, and employed a foreman who was known for his cruel treatment of the workers. Harf, who confirmed the conclusions drawn by the Bild report, said there had been no known efforts to provide any compensation to the forced labourers. “But we have since talked about what we can do now,” he said. “We want to do more and donate ten million euros to a suitable organisation.” Many of Germany’s biggest companies have over the decades confronted their Third Reich history.
Undercover Female Cops Patrol Marrakech to Combat Prostitution
Casablanca – The police in Marrakech, Morocco have adopted a controversial practice designed to put an end to prostitution in the southern city: Female policewomen in civilian clothes are currently patrolling the streets of the Red City hunting down nocturnal sex workers. More than 25 women were recently arrested in Marrakech for soliciting prostitution, according to daily Assabah’s Monday report. The arrestees were apprehended by a new corp of “undercover female cops” assigned to address prostitution in Marrakech, according to the same source.Police said the suspects were arrested for solicitation and drunkenness. The arrestees were subsequently brought before the public prosecutor before they were released on bail. Most of the arrestees were women from outside Marrakech, mainly from Agadir, Casablanca, Essaouira, and other Moroccan cities.According to Assabah, the new arrest campaign, which aims at combating prostitution, consists of sending female police officers in civilian clothes to the most popular streets in Marrakech, where there are more tourists than other areas in the city.

Victoire juridique de YouTube en France
Victoire juridique de YouTube en FranceLa plateforme vidéo a remporté le combat judiciaire qui l’opposait à la Société des producteurs de phonogrammes en France (SPPF).YouTube peut savourer. Assigné devant les tribunaux français par la Société des producteurs de phonogrammes en France (SPPF), le site de partage de vidéos a vu la plainte de cette dernière déboutée par le tribunal de grande instance (TGI) de Paris. En juin 2009, la SPPF, qui défend les intérêts des producteurs indépendants, avait attaqué YouTube pour atteinte aux droits d’auteur, rappelle Le Monde. Elle reprochait de ne pas avoir empêché la remise en ligne de certaines vidéos enfreignant le droit d’auteur et réclamait 11 millions d’euros. À lire aussiQuand Facebook commente Youtube…En mai 2008, la SPPF avait ainsi demandé à la plateforme vidéo de retirer 233 vidéos faisant partie de son catalogue. Ce à quoi YouTube avait répondu positivement, comme l’a noté le tribunal : “Il n’est pas contesté que la société YouTube a fait preuve de promptitude pour retirer de son site les fichiers ainsi dénoncés”. Seulement, en février et mars 2009, la SPPF a constaté que “123 des 233 vidéomusiques continuaient d’être visibles sur le site”, ces dernières donnant lieu à “49.824.777 visionnages, depuis leurs mises en ligne non autorisées”. Alors pourquoi, la justice a-t-elle donné raison à YouTube dans ce cas ? Tout simplement parce que le site a mis à la disposition de la SPPF une solution de traçage de ses contenus mais “qu’elle s’est abstenue de donner suite à cette proposition”, note le TGI. Résultat, YouTube s’en sort bien, la SPPF est condamnée à verser la somme de 30.000 euros pour couvrir les frais de justice.Le 29 avril 2011 à 16:28 • Emmanuel Perrin
Une tempête de neige fait 5 morts aux EtatsUnis
Une tempête de neige fait 5 morts aux Etats-UnisCe week-end, de violentes chutes de neige et des pluies verglaçantes ont frappé la côte Est des Etats-Unis. Quelques trente centimètres de neige sont tombés par endroit, tandis que plusieurs villes ont été totalement paralysées. Selon le dernier bilan, les intempéries ont fait 5 morts. C’est un évènement rarissime pour la saison. Alors que les températures restent au-dessus des moyennes de saison dans plusieurs pays, les Etats-Unis ont reçu la visite surprise de la neige ce week-end. Samedi, une tempête de neige “historiquement précoce” s’est déclenchée sur les Etats de la côte Est. Mais si de nombreux habitants se sont ravis de cette arrivée et en ont profité pour faire des batailles de boules et des bonhommes de neige dans leur jardin, les chutes de flocons importantes et les pluies verglaçantes ont causé de nombreuses perturbations. Quelque 30 centimètres de neige sont tombés dans certains secteurs de Pennsylvanie, du Connecticut et du New Jersey, et jusqu’à 50 centimètres ont été recensés à Manhattan, au coeur de New York, ville qui s’est vue sérieusement paralysée par les intempéries. Dans le Massachussetts, les chutes ont même atteint par endroit 70 centimètres au sol. Des chiffres records que le pays n’avait pas connu depuis des décennies, relève l’AFP. Tandis que les températures sont passées en-dessous de zéro et que les vents soufflaient à plus de 100 kilomètres par heure, les transports ont été grandement perturbés. De même, les aéroports de New York et de Philadelphie ont enregistré des retards de plusieurs heures et même des suspensions de vols. Ajouté à cela, plusieurs milliers de foyers ont été privés d’électricité.

Even the team’s starting centre-backs were nervous. He was an alien.”Messi would finally make his official debut for Barcelona in October 2004 against Espanyol in La Liga.💙❤ Leo #Messi✨15 years since the 👑 made his debut! pic.twitter.com/6jAoHMLeK0— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) November 16, 2018
